Orioles pitcher Tsuyoshi Wada emerged from the trainer's room Tuesday afternoon with his left arm heavily wrapped in ice from shoulder to elbow. The true damage, however, was to the 31-year-old left-hander's psyche, at least initially.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter just met with the media, and the club’s 25-man roster is coming into a little clearer focus.

Catcher Taylor Teagarden will receive a second epidural in his injured back Monday. Because of that, he will definitely be starting the season on the 15-day DL, along with Zach Britton and Brian Roberts.

Former Orioles right-hander Alfredo Simon, who was placed on waivers on Friday, was claimed by the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday afternoon.
There was little doubt that someone would claim Simon, who throws in the upper 90s and could be either a starter or reliever. And the Reds, who lost closer Ryan Madson for the year to Tommy John surgery, could use added bullpen help.
Simon entered the spring as one of a dozen candidates competing for a starting rotation spot and started in the Orioles’ first...

Just before their unofficial end to spring training here in Sarasota, the Orioles made two roster moves to trim their active roster to 27 players.
